Adidas Online Store Review
Adidas has the best technology and the best collaborators. Shopping at adidas.com is essential for sneakerheads.
Similarly to Nike, the real question is are you more likely to cop from adidas.com verses an authorized retailer?

Summary
If you're hoping to cop the latest pair of Yeezys, adidas.com is easily your best bet. The generally have the highest stock numbers and a queueing system that gives the average Joe a decent shot. Their selection is excellent and generally includes collaborations.
While there is no release calendar, they usually add upcoming sneakers to their inventory with an estimated launch time. It's not unheard of for Adidas to randomly switch up the launch time. The average release time is 10 AM, but we've seen seemingly random changed to Midnight or 3 am without much notice.
Shipping is free on almost all orders and if you're a ShopRunner member, you get that free 2 day shipping which is extremely nice.
One major hangup is their checkout system. After you cart a coveted pair of Pharrell Williams NMD's you may find yourself stuck in a checkout loop. Failed payments, cart jacking, getting booted back into queue. There are just a huge number of bugs in the checkout system that gives this German athletic wear giant room to grow.
